Abstract excerpt
p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancers. Two fundamental reasons for this are its long protein isoforms protect from cancer, while its shorter C-terminal isoforms can support cancer and metastasis. Previously, we have shown that the Δ160p53 protein isoform enhances survival and the invasive character of cancer cells. Here, we identified a translation initiation site nine codons downstream of codon...
